By: Alessandro Segala

Overview of this book

Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework used to build static web apps that are fast and lean, as well as being fun for developers to use. This book is a concise and practical introduction for those who are new to the Svelte framework which will have you up to speed with building apps quickly, and teach you how to use Svelte 3 to build apps that offer a great app user experience (UX). The book starts with an introduction to Svelte 3, before showing you how to set up your first complete application with the framework. Filled with code samples, each chapter will show you how to write components using the Svelte template syntax and the application programming interfaces (APIs) of the Svelte framework. As you advance, you’ll go from scaffolding your project and tool setup all the way through to production with DevOps principles such as automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Finally, you’ll deploy your application in the cloud with object storage services and a content delivery network (CDN) for best-in-class performance for your users. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build and deploy apps using Svelte 3 to solve real-world problems and deliver impressive results.

The Svelte ecosystem and community

We mentioned at the beginning of the book that Svelte is one of the newer frameworks for frontend development with JavaScript: Svelte 3 (a complete rewrite from the previous versions) was released as recently as April 2019.

Because of that, as I'm writing this, the amount of resources for Svelte 3 is still smaller than what developers using "older" frameworks such as React or Angular can find: tutorials, articles, videos, third-party components, events, and even books.

However, the good news is that the Svelte community is growing fast, and an increasing number of passionate developers and users are creating more content every day.
